How to Check Samsung Battery Health to Improve Battery Performance

Smartphones have become a daily essential, especially for work, social use, and entertainment. But without a healthy battery, even the best phone becomes frustrating. Samsung devices are known for their performance, but users must monitor their battery health regularly to maintain that performance over time. Here are some ways to check Samsung battery health using official tools like the Samsung Members app, device settings, and dial codes, along with third-party apps.

Use the Samsung Members App to Check Battery Health

The easiest way to check your Galaxy phone's battery status is through the Samsung Members app. It is available on most Samsung phones running Samsung One UI. These are the simple steps you can follow:

1. First, open the Samsung Members App. If you do not already have it, you can download it from the Galaxy Store.
2. After opening the app, tap on the Support tab located at the bottom of the screen.
3. Now scroll through the options and select Phone Diagnostics.
4. In the diagnostics section, tap on Battery Status to proceed.
5. You will now see a summary of your phone's battery status. This includes details like the current battery capacity, battery condition, and how well it is performing.

Samsung considers battery health above 80% acceptable. If it drops below this, it is time to consider battery replacement. 

How to Check Battery Health Using Galaxy Settings

You can also check Samsung battery health using your phone's device settings. This method uses the Galaxy Device Care section, which gives you details about battery usage and performance in just a few taps. Follow these steps to achieve the required results:

1. Open the Settings app on your Samsung phone to begin the process.
2. Scroll down and tap on Battery and Device Care to access battery settings.
3. Tap on the Battery section, then select Battery Usage to see detailed stats.
4. You will see information about how much battery is being used, which apps are using it, and if any battery-saving options are active.
5. If you notice certain apps using too much battery, you can use Power Saving Mode or put those apps to sleep to save battery life.

This helps track charging habits, screen on time, and detect any rapid battery degradation. It works on various Galaxy models, including those in the Samsung tablets lineup.

Use Samsung Battery Health Check Code

Samsung phones give users another way to check battery health using a hidden diagnostics tool. You can open this tool by dialing a special code on the phone. It shows useful battery information like charge level, voltage, and condition. Use the steps below to try this method on your Samsung phone. 

1. Start by opening the Phone app on your Samsung device.
2. In the dialer, type *#0228# to bring up the hidden Battery Status screen.
3. Once the menu appears, tap on Battery Information. This will show you useful details such as the current battery charge level, voltage, and the State of Charge (SoC).

If this code does not work, you may try *#*#4636#*#* as an alternative. These codes may not be available on all devices.

Check Samsung Battery Health with AccuBattery or Other Third Party Apps

Apps like AccuBattery, Battery Guru, or GSam Battery Monitor help you check how your battery is performing. These apps give details about battery wear, charging speed, and how much power your phone uses. They are useful if you want to understand your battery health in more depth. Follow the steps below to try this method easily on your Samsung phone.

1. First, go to the Play Store and download the AccuBattery app on your Samsung phone.
2. Once the app is installed, open it and allow all the necessary permissions it asks for.
3. After setup, tap on the Health tab at the bottom of the screen. This section shows the battery's estimated current capacity compared to its original design capacity.
4. You can also view other helpful details like battery wear over time, how fast it charges, the voltage levels, and the current battery temperature.

Apps like these provide insights not shown in native Android OS or Samsung Diagnostics. They are especially useful for users of refurbished devices such as iPhone 13 or MacBook Air, who want to extend device longevity.

How to Maintain Good Samsung Battery Lifespan

To make your phone last longer and keep the battery in good shape, follow these simple battery maintenance tips:

• Try not to charge your phone all the way to 100% or let it go down to 0%. Charging too much or too little can damage the battery over time.
• Use fast charging, USB-C charging, or wireless charging only when needed. These charging methods can heat up the battery if used too often.
• The best time to charge your phone is when the battery is between 20% and 80%. This helps your battery stay healthy for a longer period.
• Avoid using your phone while it is charging. It puts more pressure on the battery and creates extra heat.
• Always charge your phone in a cool place. Heat can cause battery damage quickly during charging.
• Use the original charging cable and adapter that came with your Samsung phone or use certified alternatives. Cheap chargers may damage your battery.
• Turn on Adaptive Battery and limit background app usage in settings. These features help save power and keep your phone running longer without charging.

Maintaining a good battery cycle count helps slow down battery degradation. These steps work across all models including models like newer models like the Galaxy S23, Galaxy A53, and Galaxy Z Fold6, which are all available at Roobotech.

When Should You Replace Your Samsung Phone Battery?

If your Samsung phone's battery capacity falls below 80%, or it starts draining too fast even when you are not using it much, it is a clear sign of battery damage. You might also notice the phone getting hot or switching off on its own. These are warning signs that the battery is no longer working properly. In such cases, you can visit Roobotech's repair services to replace the battery or go for buying new refurbished phones that come with fresh, tested batteries.
